Name: Grant Martin Birthday: August 14Eldersburg Resident Since: 1994Occupation: Editor, MMG, IncShort Bio: I grew up in Williamsport, Pa., the home of Little League Baseball. After abandoning my dreams to play major league baseball, professional tennis, or lead guitar for The Rolling Stones (who knew Keith Richards would live this long?), I was lucky enough to meet my wife, who saved me from a life of pizza, beer, and television, not necessarily in that order. My current claim to fame is living next door to and looking like the brother of longtime Eldersburg resident and all-around good guy Mike Smith.

Associations & Affiliations: Toastmasters International, United States Tennis Association, Johns Hopkins University Alumni, and dad to three daughters who all turned out to be independent thinkers and ethical people

Favorite Thing to Do in Eldersburg: Eat shaved ice at the snowball stand with a family member and watch the sun set
